Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters... I do not own/and did not write the song lyrics I will be using in this fic!
Author's Note: I changed the title, I wasn't expecting my fic to become so much in depth, but it did, and I didn't think the sappy title was really fitting anymore. Also, I decided to put lyrics from different songs in each chapter. But the lyrics will make sense with the story.
The Sea of Grey Kings
Written By: Keladieea
Chapter Five: Silver Dragon and Fire Angel
***** Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening *****
Sleep well Ginny, Draco thought as he stared down at her.
She was cuddled to the side of the buggy they were packed in, and she was sleeping off the pain that had burried itself in her head. Potter, Weasley, and Granger were across from him with sour looks on their faces.
"Do lighten up, Potter. That look on your face makes one think you're smelling something rotten." Draco teased them, as usual.
"No, Malfoy, your mother wears that look." Harry replied through gritted teeth.
Draco's sneer fell and he dove towards Harry.
"Will you two just stop it?!" Hermione screamed.
Draco and Harry froze, eachothers hands wrapped around one another's necks. Draco pulled his hands from Harry's neck and he eased back into his seat.
"Wow Mione." Ron stared at her with a dumbfounded look.
"Shut it Ron. Honestly, I don't know why I agreed to this." Hermione let out a huff and leaned back in her seat.
"Then you shouldn't have." Draco's sneer was back.
"I didn't want Ginny to be left with you." Hermione emphasized the word 'you'.
"I wouldn't have hurt her." Draco protested.
"Why do you care?" Ron asked angrily.
"Because I don't want Voldemort to gain control over her." Draco countered and turned away from them.
That ended the conversation.
*****
Ginny awoke in a large bed, wrapped in red velvet covers. She sat up, and saw Ron sleeping in the chair beside her. She could almost see the stress lines that played on his face, and she tentatively reached out to stroke his cheek.
"Gin?" He caught her wrist in his own hand.
Ginny let out gasp, and scrambled to get away from him.
"Gin...please..." Ron's voice cracked, "I love you."
"Oh Ron!" Ginny fell forward into his waiting arms, "I love you too."
"I'm sorry Ginny. I'm so sorry." He said into her hair.
"I'm sorry too Ron." Ginny cried and held onto her older brother.
The two sat there and rocked eachother back and forth.'
"How very sweet." Drawled a voice from the door.
"Go away Malfoy." Ron spat in the blonde's direction.
"How I'd love to, Ronniekins, but I need to speak to the baby weasel." Draco said, then added, "Alone."
"I'll be okay Ron." Ginny whispered to him.
Ron got up, clearly upset, and walked out of the room. Draco kicked the door shut after Ron left, then approached Ginny's bed.
"Are we in Ireland?" Ginny asked.
"Yes." Draco replied shortly.
"What's wrong?" Ginny asked, noticing his bad mood.
"Listen Gin, about that kiss-" He started to say.
"You don't have to be sorry about it." Ginny added quickly, "Because I'm not."
"I am. I don't think we should be...together, in that prospect. I think we need to stay away from eachother." Draco explained harshly.
"What? Why?" Ginny asked, startled.
"Because Ginny, I don't like you!" Draco stood.
"You're so immature you stupid ferret! Get out!" Ginny screamed.
"With pleasure, you ill bred weasel." Draco hissed and slammed the door shut as he left.
Ginny was left to herself, crying.
*****
Draco leaned his head against Ginny's door after he slammed it, and felt hot tears build up.
"A dragon never cries." Sounded a voice.
Draco whirled and found himself in the water world.
"Who are you?" Draco asked, for the voice belonged to a man of sheer strength.
"I am the Grey King Althuos." The man replied, and Draco stared up at him.
Althuos towered twenty feet above Draco, even in the water.
"What do you want?" Draco growled, and kicked his feet to stay above water.
"To tell you that your weakness is letting your guard down. When you cry, you open up and allow the Theous Scrolls to find you." Althuos explained, "But, Silver Dragon, why do you cry?"
"I had to hurt her." Draco said sadly, "I had to hurt the one person I care about."
"Why did you do such a thing?" Althuos asked calmly.
"Because, if I hurt her, then she will build a wall, and the Theous Scrolls will not find her." Draco whispered.
"I see." Althus began to lower himself in the water.
"Where am I?" Draco looked around, but saw nothing but water.
"In the Grey World." Althuos himself turned to survey the vast waters.
"The Grey World? And you're the Grey King?" Draco lifted an eyebrow and surpressed a laugh.
"One of the Grey Kings. There are three, and there is one Grey Queen." Althuos was not humorous along with Draco.
"Althuos, helping another wonderer?" Came an angelic voice.
Draco and Althuos turned to see an exquisite female, who was the same race of Althuos.
"This is no mere wonderer, my lady Marin. This is Silver Dragon, our protector." Althuos motioned to Draco.
"Protector? I never signed up for that job!" Draco protested.
"Silver Dragon? He has finally arrived?" Marin turned her blue orbs onto Draco.
"Finally arrived?" Draco was puzzled.
"We've been waiting for you. But where is Fire Angel?" Marin looked around the empty waters, in search of another.
"Fire Angel? You mean Ginny?" Draco's eyebrows lifted.
"That is she." Althuos nodded.
"She won't be coming here." Draco said sullenly.
"Why is that?" Marin looked down at him.
"I hurt her. So that she would build up a wall, so the Theous Scrolls would not locate her." Draco explained sadly.
"You hurt her to save her?" Marin was surprised to say the least.
"Isn't that what you do when you love somebody?" Draco countered and his silver eyes glared up at Marin before he lowered them.
"You tell me." Marin smirked.
"I wouldn't know." Draco hissed, and looked down, "I've never been in love....until now."
"I see." Marin smiled knowingly.
"Who has the Theous Scrolls?" Althuos changed the subject.
"Lord Voldemort. He's an evil wizard in my world." Draco replied.
"Who know of this...Voldemort." Marin looked at Althuos.
"Theous seeks power." Althuos pondered on the thought.
"Theous is a real person?" Draco's eyes went wide.
"Theous is one the Grey Kings. My older brother, Zanios, is the other Grey King." Althuos said bitterly.
"Are you the Grey Queen?" Draco asked Marin.
"Yes. I am married to Zanios." Marin answered.
"So this brother of yours, Theous, he's bad? And lemme guess, he wants to corrupt this sea world of yours? Like Voldemort wants to destroy my world." Draco guessed.
"Yes." Althuos nodded.
"You and Fire Angel are our guardians. Only you have the power to save us." Marin said softly to Draco, "But you must go, before the Theous Scrolls break through Althuos' magick that is protecting you here. Good luck, our Silver Dragon."
*****
"Malfoy? Wake up!" Someone was yelling into his ear.
"Leave him be, I think he's coming to...finally." Hermione was leaning over him, Ron and Harry at either side of him.
"Come off it, Granger, I'm fine." Draco hissed.
"You passed out in front of Ginny's door." Hermione explained.
"Where is Ginny?" Draco sat up.
"In her room, asleep." Harry replied.
"Well, then I guess I'll go to my room and sleep." Draco stood.
The three were left alone as he swept down the hall in a fury of black cloak.
